it's not that, it is a simple problem of iron portable not being able to read .url files..

You have to the URL parsed in the .URL file by windows through "rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l" and then handled by the HTTP handler.

Code: Select all

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.url]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.url]
@="InternetShortcut"

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\InternetShortcut\shell\open\command]
@="rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l"

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\MyHTMLFile\command]
@="T:\\IronPortable\\IronPortable.exe --new-window \"%1\""
See my other post for the full REG script.
